August 2026 Development Update

More control on the drawing. More intelligence behind it.

This development cycle focused on the parts of Pipe Pilot that get touched constantly in the field: dimensions, selection, callouts, rolled geometry and saving work reliably.

Callout Mode

Heat mapping + component notes

Callout Mode can now carry heat information and custom notes directly on the drawing, keeping fabrication information tied to the component it belongs to instead of forcing the user into a separate reference list.

Selection + Geometry

Hover highlighting + rolled offsets

Hover highlighting makes it obvious which fitting or line is about to be selected. Underneath that interface improvement, the rolled 90° engine now handles exit-path miter and roll calculations for non-planar routing.

Drawing Control

Draggable dimensions + direct editing

Dimension lines can now be dragged and magnetically snapped into cleaner positions. A double-click opens direct measurement editing, reducing the amount of rebuilding required when a field measurement changes.

Callout Mode

Itemization + spool identification

Numbered itemization and spool or piece identification can now live directly on the iso. Callouts are draggable so dense drawings can be organized without losing the connection between the label and the actual component.
